I didn't realize Skate Canada was such a fan of Balde and not a fan of Rogozine.. why?

Not sure about the not fan part but Rogozine hasn't been skating well this season at all. But he has the Worlds minimum score from last season.

Balde on the other hand has been gaining momentum this season but has failed to reach the score so far. He's a much more captivating and entertaining performer and if both skate equally well Balde is probably going to receive higher PCS.

Eh, Chan beat Reynolds by 4 points in the LP. And this is Reynolds. Chan had a closer gap over his competitors than the ice dancers, and they have less opportunity for high totals (two perfect dance programs would be scored only slightly higher than Chan's LP at Nationals last year, for example).

Chan's never losing the National title, but I hope he loses Worlds. A win at Worlds would basically guarantee that he loses the Olympics (due to the direction he's heading in).
